I really think I might gag after reading this kind of drivel. It’s amazing, to say the least, that a 26 y.o. editor of a frivolous magazine is even being quoted with respect to the qualifications of NYC’s next Schools Chancellor.

What the heck is going on here? Is the reality simply that Ms. Black is being pushed out of Hearst and the Mayor wants to help her out?

For crying out loud, why not give her a job at Bloomberg LP which is at least in the publishing business — something Ms. Black presumably knows something about.

And the studied editorial silence of the NYT on the travesty of this appointment speaks volumes as to quid pro quo deference that is rank within NYC’s “elite class”.
